Our product currently use SA 12.0.1.3873 on Linux OS. Since SA 12.0.1.3324 we are trying check and use intra-query parallelism mechanism. As known MAX_QUERY_TASKS option by default is set to 0 (maximum level of parallelism). In our experience we didn't see results of intra-query parallelism furthemore some of queries have encountered with endless loop processing or drop connection problems. Due these problems we set this option to 1 (prevent intra-query parallelism using). In last EBF's readme files we found fixes related to parallelism. For some tests we set MAX_QUERY_TASKS back to N/2 (where N count of logical processors) and saw in top output that realy were used N/2 processors.
Our question - is the some recommendation to set MAX_QUERY_TASKS option regarding to number of logical processors; how last fixes have improved intra-query parallelism using
